A new terminal is set to be constructed in the Fodu operation zone of the Liuheng port area at Ningbo-Zhoushan Port. This ambitious project will feature two 200,000-tonne-class container berths, designed to handle a substantial annual capacity of 2 million TEUs. The berths will be equipped to accommodate ultra-large containerships, with a capacity of up to 24,000 TEUs, reflecting the port's commitment to adapting to the evolving demands of global shipping. Construction for the new terminal is scheduled to begin in October 2025, with the aim of launching operations by December 2027. The terminal is expected to reach its full operational capacity by 2030, further enhancing Ningbo-Zhoushan Port's capabilities. The port's management emphasized that investing in this new terminal is crucial for meeting the increasing transportation demands from the Yangtze River economic belt region, which plays a vital role in China's trade and economic activities. By expanding its container handling capacity, especially for larger vessels, Ningbo-Zhoushan Port aims to strengthen its competitive position in the maritime industry. In the latest figures from August, Ningbo-Zhoushan Port reported a significant container volume of 4.32 million TEUs, reflecting a robust year-on-year increase of 13.2%. Additionally, the port's cargo throughput is projected to reach 97.85 million tons, representing a growth of 4.9%. These statistics underscore the port's ongoing growth and its strategic importance in the global shipping landscape.
